Chandigarh 11th
August:- With its proposition of 'who Zamaana Kare Deewana', Zee
Classic is India's only Hindi movie channel that endeavors to recreate the
magic of iconic classics and new age cinema by showcasing not just the films
that shaped Indian cinema but also acquaint viewers with the creative talent
who were a part of that timeless era.
In order to mark the occasion of India’s 70th year of independence,
Zee Classic premieres ‘Gandhi' based
on the life of the legend himself, this Saturday, on 13th August at
8 PM in ‘India’s Finest Films’ and on Monday, 15th August at 9:30 AM
Gandhi (1982) was
produced and directed by Richard Attenborough and written by John Briley.
Starring Ben Kingsley, Candice Bergen, Edward Fox, John Gielgud, Trevor Howard,
John Mills, Roshan Seth and Martin Sheen, it is one of the most iconic films of
all times. The story is that of the Indian lawyer who returned from racially
segregated South Africa to drive the British out of his home country through
successive acts of non-violent protest. The portrayal of how simplicity and the
power collectivism can throw over a whole British empire bringing them to their
knees.
On receiving
the Oscar for ‘Best Picture’ Sir Richard Attenborough said that Gandhi
simply asked that we should examine the criteria by which we solve our
problems. That surely in the 20th century, we human beings could find other
ways of ultimately solving our problems than blowing the other man's head off.
He begged us to re-examine that criteria. He believed that we would not resort
to violence. That the route that we would take in solving our problems would be
a quite different one to the one that we accept now. He believe he had
something to say to all of us everywhere in the world.
